This week Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and guest co-host Steve Okun, CEO, APAC Advisors welcome Ho Kok Yong, Deloitte Asia Pacific’s CFO Program Leader, to unpack the findings of Deloitte’s Finance Trends 2026 report. Based on insights from over 1,300 global finance leaders, the report highlights how CFOs are reimagining their roles in an era of uncertainty, disruption, and opportunity. Ho explains how finance leaders are navigating economic volatility and operational risk through advanced scenario planning and agile governance. We explore the growing influence of AI and cloud technologies in transforming finance functions, from cost management to strategic decision-making. The conversation also delves into how the scope of finance leadership is expanding—CFOs are no longer just guardians of the balance sheet, but catalysts for innovation and enterprise-wide growth. Talent is another critical theme. As finance teams embrace AI, the demand for hybrid skills—where data scientists and accountants collaborate—is reshaping workforce strategies and upskilling priorities across the region.
